I was born in Brussels and grew up in a small village in Rhodes. I studied Geography in my second favourite island, Lesvos and have a great interest in geopolitics and demography. I have worked for 10 years as a geographer - cartographer and I have taken part in several municipal projects and state surveys. A very important project in my life was Rhodescape experiences and Rhodescape adventure park (2017 - 2022) at the lake of Apolakkia in south Rhodes. A vision, to create an adventure - ecological park at the village I grew up, became true! For the last 8 years I have a license by the Greek Tourism Organisation to offer daily excursions in our island with special activities and experiences. Through these excursions I try to offer my guests unforgettable days and convince them to come back for more days. All my tours are flexible, so that they can meet different preferences and can be adjusted according to traveler's needs. I am well aware that visitors seek to explore the beauty of a destination and make new friends there. Most tourist packages offer rather the "fast food" experience with no personal contact. I think that I can offer the services needed by a traveler rather than the typical tourist. Beautiful experiences - activities, authentic food and smiles are the key to become a group of friends at the end of the day with my guests. The love I have for my island and a passion to show people its beauty, as well as my need to communicate with people from all over the world, led me to a job perfectly suitable for me, which I enjoy doing everyday. I have a license by the Greek Tourism Organisation to offer daily excursions with activities. I have a degree in Geography and a Master's degree in Master in Geopolitics and Strategic Studies. I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside the historical monuments.

A tour through local tastes and cuisine in the most authentic side of the island, away from massive tourism. You will taste several local products such as wine, honey, olive oil in different villages. I will offer you lunch in my favorite place where you can explore the wealth of Greek cuisine: its simplicity and pure products. You will also visit the superb castle of Monolithos as well as the one in Kritinia. At the end of this beautiful day a gift for you will be a box with local l products and stuffs made by me. The smells and tastes of our island will be following you after this experience.
Our day and the time the tour starts is flexible and is custom made to meet your time needs. Fist destination: Apollona, a village on mountainous Rhodes, after 40 min drive. Visit the local winery and wine tasting. Then we drive through mountainous Rhodes and 20 minuntes later we end up in Empona, where we taste some local products and more wine! After a nice road trip on the..highlands and some glasses of wine, we vist the castle of Monolithos with the unique view on the west coast (20 min.) ! Next, we drive to my favortite village Kritinia (20 min.), where we will have an authentic greek lunch at the tavern of my friend George. I am sure you will love the atmosphere and the view ! Our next stop is the medieval castle of Kritinia or the little beach of Kopria (5 minutes) As we drive back through the west coast (15 minutes - a big part of the road is next to the sea), we make a last stop at the impressive Ancient Kamiros - which thrived during the 5th century BC.
